Question

Hopefully a really simple MVC problem (), I have a controller in my Controllers folder called HomeController which contains a method called Index which looks like this:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View();
}

My Index view does indeed exist, and on my shared Layout view I have the following link (to my index page)

@Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index")

Am I doing this right? I have a method called Index in my controller which returns my Index view, so shouldn’t this ActionLink work?

Answer 1

ActionLink takes the action name and then the controller name.

@Html.ActionLink("My Link", "Index", "Home");
